I confess : was watching the last seconds of a Criminal Minds episode when I heard this terrific, moving, even heartbreaking song. I was stuck immediately. Did Shazam right away and there it was. It will never leave me now. I want it played at my funeral. So thanks to a network TV show to help me discover a masterpiece I would never have found without it.

Same. I hate it when people are like this song is beautiful this tv show brought me here. But I know that's the only song they will probably listen to from sleeping at last. And I wish if one of those people reads this please listen to a few more of their songs. Sleeping at last is amazing and make the best most meaningful music.
Why hate it when people were brought here by a TV show ? There are millions of songs, many of them never discovered. If a TV show did it, like it did for me yesterday with In the embers , then many, many thanks to the show because the song is incredibly beautiful. And yes, it makes one want to listen to other Sleeping at last songs, which I'm gonna do right away.
Tbh, the main reason I started listening to the band was cause of a video/TV show. That tv show I'd the reason why I listen to and love all of their songs. Why is someone any less better or less a fan if they're brought here due to it. My actual favourite song by them is Light and Sun. Don't shame people for the reason why they're here. I'm just happy that more people are listening to this beautiful band
Avery I was brought here by a tv show, that doesn't mean I'm less of a fan. Because of that tv show I now listen to sleeping at last songs. So why is it bad I was brought here by a tv show. At least I bothered to search it up
"In the embers we will fade. And from the ashes we will rise, once again. We will burn brighter than the lights of the cities that once were, brighter than the lights in the sky... And just like the rivers we will flow, like the Aurora. Running down the streams that are our lives. We will live on. Leave our stories written on these walls. Leave our lives in these valleys and our fire on the mountains. We were the warmth, we were the light but we still are the Flame..." -Caldríe
" like fireworks we pull apart the dark, compete against the stars with all of our hearts. Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash, we pull part the darkness while we can..." What a beautiful song! At first I kept wondering that the song sounded more 'dark' than 'light', until these lines came, and it all made sense. Chills!
This is so brilliant well written & he puts so much emotive heart wrenching vocals that I feel every word such an honest life existential intuition I am brought to tears ❤️
I heard this first in 2013 on Turner Classic Movies in memoriam to the people who passed in the film industry and since it has become the song in my heart when people I love who illuminated my life have left me forever to hopefully be in a better place.
I wonder if the musician felt this way or was it the composer. A beautiful song for thoes who suffer through lifes tragedies and still remain a light in the word . I bow to you for I too have gone through this loss , this sadness. You are strong even when you feel week.
Our lives are like stars, we are born. We shine brightly for the duration of our lives, and then we grow old and fade. It may seem like a long time but in the grand scheme of the universe we are only a tiny pinprick in the night sky
We live and we die Like fireworks Our legacies hide In the embers May our stories catch fire And burn bright enough To catch God's eye We live and we die Like fireworks We pull apart the dark Compete against the stars With all of our hearts Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash We pull apart the darkness while we can May we live and die A valorous life May we write it all down In cursive light So we pray we were made In the image of a figure eight May we live and die Like fireworks We pull apart the dark Compete against the stars With all of our hearts Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash We pull apart the darkness while we can Like fireworks We pull apart the dark Compete against the stars With all of our hearts Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash We pull apart the darkness while we can
You have no idea how excited I was when I heard Ryan’s voice at the end of a Criminal Minds episode, Sleeping at last is my favorite music artist so to hear this and another song by them I was SO happy 🥺
I'm old school music but this band brings my soul peace, considering I've looked straight into deaths eyes . I came back but with a knowledge I dont think many people believe or understand.
Fun fact: I flipped out when this song came on on an episode of criminal minds called final shot season 9 I believe episode 3 okay sorry but I had to share my fangirl moment cuz I freakin love sleeping at last
Sleeping At Last was never known well, but there music is better than the horrible rap and things everyone listen to these days, music is meant to make you feel, not just random crap
Oredax MC i agree that music is supposed to make you feel but take me as an example i listen to G-Eazy and his songs have a lot of meaning. The style of music or any type of art shouldn't matter because it all has one goal: inspiration and meaning.
Oredax MC Some raps have meanings behind them like music like this. Very rare, but there are raps that have meaning lyrics. Personally I don't listen to rap, I listen to Pentatonix, Classical music, and Sleeping At Last, and The Piano Guys.
With rap theirs always story and meaning behind the lyrics whether its good or bad, liked or not doesn't matter the fact is it's literally stylized poetry a genre of writing that is the embodyment of "story and meaning."
Themanwhocameback2 just because they are here from a TV Show that ended not that long ago doesn’t mean they don’t understand the lyrics or the meaning of the song. i have listened to songs from many tv shows and i know the meanings behind them. also if you’re mad that they came here from a TV Show, that i would watch before hating on it, then keep it to yourself. it’s pointless to say those things if you’re just hating.

There isn't a single line or note in any Sleeping At Last song that I dislike. Pure Perfection!
Ikr!
The perfect band protected
unbelievable how so much emotions are being conveyed in his voice yet the lyrics is so empowering
Rezzel Therese hell yea....

Like if you're here because you LOVE SLEEPING AT LAST. No TV show brought me here, ha ha, amazing music did.
Same. I hate it when people are like this song is beautiful this tv show brought me here. But I know that's the only song they will probably listen to from sleeping at last.

That Writing is Absolutely Fantastic…You have a Literary Gift…Brilliant!! GOD BLESS The Writer ;] One Stroke of a Pen…Can EnLighten the WORLD ;]
criminal minds has the best music
Right?!
@@katp7561 Yes, so did "Sons of Anarchy". I don't think people realize how much a song can do for a scene or a show.
Sleeping at Last reaches my soul.
Yes
Same here
I am up a 3:38 am crying one song after the other.
TCM Remembers 2013 ... beautiful.
TCM introduced me to this song.
" like fireworks we pull apart the dark, compete against the stars with all of our hearts. Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash, we pull part the darkness while we can..."
What a beautiful song! At first I kept wondering that the song sounded more 'dark' than 'light', until these lines came, and it all made sense. Chills!

Beautiful analogy with the fireworks, and so very true.
I just put my doggy to sleep a few hours ago and thought of this song. I can't get past the pain of never seeing his sweet face again.
Aly Cat I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I also lost my dog not too long ago and it's a horrible feeling.
I sincerely hope that you feel better ❤️💞
Being Human got me here...again😉
This song is so beautiful it makes my heart ache.
I get emotional every time I listen to this song. beautiful indeed...
Same as all of you! I too want it played at my funeral!!
sometimes we all need a path to reach into our soul, thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
I wonder if the musician felt this way or was it the composer. A beautiful song for thoes who suffer through lifes tragedies and still remain a light in the word . I bow to you for I too have gone through this loss , this sadness. You are strong even when you feel week.
wow....so emotional. ..beautiful

I loved so much ❤❤❤ . Criminal mi ds sempre tem sons incriveis. Amei ter encontrado aqui🎉❤
GOD BLESS ALL THOSE LIVES LOST ON THIS 20th ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ~GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES OF THOSE FOLKS LOST THAT TRAGIC DAY~
Damn this song is beautiful . I've just been listening to this band on playlists and it keeps getting better
We live and we die
Like fireworks
Our legacies hide
In the embers
May our stories catch fire
And burn bright enough
To catch God's eye
We live and we die
Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can
May we live and die
A valorous life
May we write it all down
In cursive light
So we pray we were made
In the image of a figure eight
May we live and die
Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can
Like fireworks
We pull apart the dark
Compete against the stars
With all of our hearts
Till our temporary brilliance turns to ash
We pull apart the darkness while we can
Thanks for posting the lyrics.
Oh how I love this song. I wish there were a karaoke version of this...
Being Human!
Yes!!!
YESSS
this song is my lyrical dance for this year
"Like fireworks we pull apart the dark"
till our temporary brilliance turns to ash... equally... brilliant
"... may we write it all down..."
Beautiful!
Such an awesome tune!
Beautiful music 🎵🎶
your songs touch me so much, I cry every single time
You have no idea how excited I was when I heard Ryan’s voice at the end of a Criminal Minds episode, Sleeping at last is my favorite music artist so to hear this and another song by them I was SO happy 🥺
I think TCM has used it in the past when an actor dies and they have a memorial video for them
I'm old school music but this band brings my soul peace, considering I've looked straight into deaths eyes . I came back but with a knowledge I dont think many people believe or understand.
Beautiful!!!
I'm in love with this song
Ultimate tribute song
Existentialism madeinto lyrical beauty.
criminal minds brought me here
This was featured on TCM Remembers 2013.
Can't even breath, for crying.
Fun fact: I flipped out when this song came on on an episode of criminal minds called final shot season 9 I believe episode 3 okay sorry but I had to share my fangirl moment cuz I freakin love sleeping at last

Ed Moumblow same :)
Wow! How cool is that? Was tha the episode where the dude, oh, I forgot. Youknow what I mean?

Amazing

Petra Poljak G-Eazy raps? Well I suppose if you listen to it like that it is fine, but kids nowadays listen to it to act cool
feng zhuo How is it cool? It sounds horrible

Not even finna front twilight brought me to them but I found this song on my own these dudes are the shit
"May we live and die a valorous life."

People be like: I'm here 'cos some tv shows

Im a fan of sleeping at last and criminal minds
Dean and Sam
Kate Nolan YES YES

❤
being human
Which one? I watched both on Netflix :/
criminal minds brought me here.
And you are still there. Listen and learn something. You won't, fixated on a dumb TV show.
Themanwhocameback2 just because they are here from a TV Show that ended not that long ago doesn’t mean they don’t understand the lyrics or the meaning of the song. i have listened to songs from many tv shows and i know the meanings behind them. also if you’re mad that they came here from a TV Show, that i would watch before hating on it, then keep it to yourself. it’s pointless to say those things if you’re just hating.
Ditto.
I mean I listen to this band but I also watched criminal minds
poetry
Anyone else not here because of fucking criminal minds
SONG POP xd
y'all may be here because of criminal minds or the band or whatever.... but unrelatableuserboxes brought me here
I'm here because this song was dedicated to the victims, especially the babies of Sandy Hook:(
It's aggravating how this has more views, likes, and comments than the upload by the artist. D: Guys, c'mon. Support Ryan!
Just hair-raising
